We had a break in the rough weather and headed out of Poole Harbour in Dorset in pursuit of bass. The goal of lure fishing for bass became more of a lure fishing for wrasse, scad, pollack and gurnard trip. The size of the scad was shocking with everyone including the skipper agreeing they are the largest ever seen. The wrasse came in up to 5lb and one of the fishermen caught his first ever wrasse followed by five more big ones in quick succession.

Lots of smaller pollack up to about 3lb caught over a wreck and reef. Heavy tackle losses over the wreck by most.
